Chapter 3 — I'm A Little Sister But My Whole Family Is The Big Boss

Before, when I was still at Co's house, I met her a few times at parties. She was always the arrogant and cold type, and we didn't have much interaction. Having finished speaking, she quickly walked back to her desk and grabbed her newly forgotten bag. I didn't respond, I just glanced at the black dress that hugged that high-class figure, then as always, thought to myself: - Trieu Mat, even though she's really unpleasant, her figure is... so beautiful. “Don't look at me like a pitiful kitten.” Trieu Mat suddenly spoke up when our eyes met. "Huh?" “Okay, come here.” As if suddenly softened, she waved her finger at me, opened the closet and took out a dress: "This, try it." It's a pure white short halter dress, lightly draped in soft chiffon, with a bit of a little fairy-like temperament. “What are you still standing there for?” Trieu Mat frowned, somewhat unnaturally avoiding my eyes: "I don't want to be said to be isolating my roommate." I was silent for a moment, and couldn't help but speak up: "Obviously, we're both isolated, right?" The shoulder straps are delicate embossed flowers, the light color accentuates the collarbone. Trieu Mat helped me tie my belt, then switched to sarcastic mode: "Isn't the old man from the Co family trying to keep you? Why are you trying to run back to your hometown?" I retracted my smile and calmly replied: "Actually, the Pho family is also very good." “Hmm, after being sold, I still helped people count money.” Trieu Mat glanced at me, seemed to feel that I was beyond help, snorted coldly, picked up her bag and turned to walk away. The sound of her high heels clicking on the marble floor sounded especially strong. I sighed helplessly, picked up my phone and followed. 7 “Oh, who is this?” As soon as he entered the dinner party hall, a familiar sarcastic tone rang out. Looking up, Co Tam was surrounded by a group of people, looking like a princess in the crowd. It seemed that the old man of the Co family had specially arranged for someone to do her makeup and prepare her: a pink silk dress with a tight design that accentuated her tiny waist that could barely fit a hand. As for the sentence just now, it came from the mouth of Tien Noan Noan - who was standing right next to her. Co Tam slightly raised her head and glanced at me, her chin slightly raised, the corners of her lips curled slightly into a meaningful smile. I couldn't help but laugh faintly in my heart - I'm afraid that even Tien Noan Nuan was instigated by her. "That pheasant, no matter how much gold you paint it, it won't become a phoenix." Tien Noan Nuan crossed her arms over her chest, her voice echoing in the hall: "I told you, some people have a rustic nature that is deeply ingrained in their bones, no matter what they wear, they can't hide it - but now their true nature is revealed." Sarcastic laughter rang out around me, piercing my ears harshly. Looking at the smiling faces around me that had nothing to do with me, my heart suddenly felt cold. Indeed, people always like to watch those who once stood on high fall into the mud - only then can the humbleness in their hearts be erased. “It is true that plain tigers are despised by dogs.” Trieu Mat's voice rang out coldly, holding a glass of red wine and walking to the long banquet table in front. The words were not loud, but under the soft sound of the violin, they sounded extremely clear. Tien Noan Nuan's expression changed, not daring to argue back. I curled my lips slightly and accepted the glass of champagne from the waiter serving, took a light sip, then slowly continued: "That's true." The atmosphere was as tense as a string when suddenly, there was a commotion in front of the hall door, everyone started whispering: "Pho Duc is here! I didn't expect him to come to the welcome party for new students!" “Oh my god, quickly look at your outfit, is it okay?” "Pho Duc is the school's big brother. He is famous for his hot temper. Don't touch him in the future!" School boss? I gently shook the glass of wine in my hand, the champagne wave sparkled with transparent light. Looking up at the lobby door — it was true that Pho Duc was dressed differently. A simple white T-shirt, but it exudes a lazy and rebellious temperament. Of course, what makes people unable to take their eyes off is still that face. The Pho family's genes are truly domineering. "I heard that Pho Duc is a special student this year. He had a fight when he first started school, but he still wasn't expelled." “He has no background at all, yet he dares to cause trouble at Wells, that's really brave!” Not far away, the upperclassmen were enthusiastically "explaining" to the newly enrolled girls. I just wanted to hold my forehead when I heard this - this Pho Duc guy has definitely made the Pho family busy dealing with trouble because of me. Pho Duc walked into the lobby and immediately glanced at me, but his eyes quickly moved away. He had clearly made up his mind — not paying any attention to me. The whispers faded as he leisurely walked in. I was about to continue sipping my wine when... he stopped right in front of me. “You and I don't know each other.” The voice was low and cold like the December wind. Right after that, he walked straight past me and towards Co Tam. “Third brother?” Co Tam was clearly surprised, his eyes lit up, "Why did you come?" The people around immediately moved aside, making way for Pho Duc to step forward. He gently stroked Co Tam's hair, his voice softened: "You're here, of course I have to come." In the midst of a brilliant crowd, he was only gentle with one person. A Mary Sue-esque plot was being performed in real life, the surrounding whispers began to rumble again: "A wealthy secret? There are no other men in the Co family besides Co Tu An?" "Isn't this the third brother of the Pho family - where Co Tam used to live? It is said that that family really has three older brothers." "So he's not Pho Vi's biological brother? But no matter how close he looks..." "What should I say, he clearly doesn't like her. Didn't you see him just now? Pho Duc didn't even bother to glance at her." These words were not hidden at all, the voice was low but clear, as if they were deliberately spoken right next to my ear for me to hear. “It's too noisy, be quiet.” A familiar voice that I've known for many years rang out. The entire banquet hall immediately fell silent. Co Tu An frowned and came over, standing next to me without saying a word. I nodded my head in thanks, but didn't pay too much attention to Co Tu An, my eyes turned to Co Tam. I actually didn't care much about Pho Duc discriminating against me. It's just that - I still clearly remember the first night when I returned to the Pho family's house, Pho Duc said: "Before, Tam Tam said you wouldn't come back and even chased her away." But I really don't remember ever chasing her away. On the contrary, when I had just unequivocally agreed to accept my ancestors, it was Co Tam who, with teary eyes, pulled my hand and mouthed continuously. said sorry, that she was sorry for me. Even if a scenario like that could be made up, besides Co Tam, who else would come in here? "What? Just a few days after coming to the Pho family, have you already learned how to be pitiful and weak?" A glass of wine was brought in front of me, the hand holding the other glass of wine was so white that it was a bit pale - his old illness, his physical condition was not good. After I received the glass, Co Tu An took out his own handkerchief and slowly wiped his hands - still showing his old cleanliness. “What are you laughing at?” Co Tu An glanced at me suspiciously. I raised my glass, gently clinked his glass, and a sharp voice rang out, "It's your turn - show a little brotherly affection." “It has nothing to do with me.” I nodded, showing I understood. Co Tu An has always been an arrogant person, I understand that clearly. Having said that, it's not wrong that he hates me. Even though he was three years younger than me, only 16, he was placed in his first year at Wells University — this was partly my credit. Even though I "leave it to fate", I still have to make sure that the Co family has the most perfect successor. 8 Finance major has many complex subjects, but I was fascinated by it. Always felt... around the Pho family, there was the potential to make things happen. Having just received the planning map for the northern area of the capital, I was blocked by someone. “Hmm, Pho Vi, why are you learning these things?” Co Tam gently pulled her sleeve and said softly: "Noan Noan, don't be like that..." "Noan Noan, you're so kind!" Tien Noan Noan spoke up for Co Tam, her voice full of grievances: "Pho Vi previously kicked you out of the Co family, clearly wanting to take over your golden position in the Co family. Now that you can't take over, you still look pitiful? And yet you still defend her?" A few "little guys" standing nearby immediately responded. One person plays the good side, the other plays the evil side, it's truly a big performance. I coldly said: "Co Tam, then please explain - when did you kick me out of the Co family house?" Co Tam was startled, took two steps back, her eyes filled with tears: "No... that's not the case..." "Pho Vi!" Tien Noan Noan quickly stood in front of Co Tam, her voice harsh: "Don't be too much!" My phone vibrated, I lowered my head to look - it was a text message from Pho Luat: "I'm about to arrive at the school gate, get ready, let's go home." A feeling of joy rose in my chest. I was just about to answer the phone when... CRASH.
